And according to one study . . . you’d be wrong.

Researchers released the results of a study that shows it can be BAD for people’s wellbeing if their companies ban them from checking emails at home.

Quote, “People need to deal with email in the way that suits their personality and their goal priorities in order to feel like they are adequately managing their work load.”
